Church Of St John The Baptist

The Church of St John the Baptist was originally part of an Augustinian Priory founded in the second half of the 12th century and later converted into a parish church after the Dissolution. The church features a 13th-century nave and aisles, a 16th-century west tower, and a 19th-century chancel along with the east end of the south aisle. The nave was re-roofed in the early 16th century. Inside, there are 15th-century carved stone figures of St Thomas Becket and the Madonna and Child, as well as a richly carved 15th-century wooden pulpit and lectern. The church also contains 18th and 19th-century wall monuments, including a carved monument from 1732 and a monument from 1834 featuring a marble open book. Additionally, there is a medieval octagonal font with dummy arcades located in the north aisle.
